§ Mr. MackinlayTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list those departmental responsibilities which relate to(a) England, (b) England and Wales, (c) England, Wales and Scotland and (d) the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the approximate proportion of the time and budget of his Department which exclusively relates to each of the above categories. [5964]
§ Mr. BowisThis information would be disproportionately costly to compile. Page 1 of the transport report for 1994 summarises the geographical extent of the Secretary of State's main responsibilities, but this is not an exhaustive list. The transport report 1996 contains extensive information about the Secretary of State's responsibilities and expenditure plans. The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland Offices and the Department of the Environment publish their own reports, which include information on regional and local transport matters. Some regionally disaggregated expenditure figures are also given in "Transport Statistics Great Britain" and in the public expenditure analyses published annually by the Treasury.
